For 45 years, the Freedom to Read Foundation has dedicated itself to protecting the right of libraries to provide access to the world of knowledge and ideas. This #GivingTuesday, consider making a donation to the Freedom to Read Foundation, and help us keep censorship efforts at bay. There are plenty of reasons to give: Your gift of $250, $100, $50, $25 – any amount – is tax-deductible. Thanks to everyone who has made this such a successful 2014. FTRF has done good and important work in the courts, in libraries, in the classroom, and in the virtual world. Help us continue that work in 2015!

Actually, we missed it by a day! The Freedom to Read Foundation turned 44 on Wednesday, November 20. Over the years, thousand of librarians, attorneys, free speech activists, library trustees, authors, libraries, colleges, publishers, and other individuals and organizations have helped support our unique and powerful work of defending YOUR right to access information in libraries and beyond. We have defended librarians facing challenges—some that were career-threatening, helped established important legal precedent, and educated untold numbers about the importance of libraries and access to information to our system of self-governance. Today, we are a thriving organization with a multitude of cases, programs, and initiatives to continue the visionary work started four and a half decades ago. Please help us continue this work by: Our thanks for your continued support!
